Every year for New Year's Eve I always put together fun appetizers and dips and have a fun little get together. Well I thought it would be fun to get some of your favorite recipes and use them for my celebration. Thanks for your input!!

Spread about 1 block of cream cheese in the bottom of a square pan. (You may need slightly more than 1 block, but not more than two.) Pour a can of chili over the top--hot, no beans. Sprinkle with mexican blend cheese. Pop into the microwave for a few minutes--loosely covered--until it's heated through and the cheese is all melty. You could probably do that step in the oven too, although I never have. Serve with lime tortilla chips. The lime sounds odd, but it totally completes the flavor profile.

One of my girlfriends sent me the recipe to a pumpkin dip--more of a dessert dip. Let me go find it and I'll put up another post with that recipe.

Lay one sheet of phyllo on Cutting Board and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Place second sheet of phyllo over first, pressing together to seal. Cut sheet in half crosswise using Pizza Cutter, forming two rectangles. Place one asparagus spear onto one phyllo rectangle in upper left-hand corner, allowing tip to extend 1 inch past edge of phyllo.

Fold bottom of phyllo up over spear; roll tightly from left to right. Repeat with another asparagus spear and second phyllo rectangle. Place asparagus seam side down on Large Bar Pan with tips toward center. Repeat with remaining phyllo, cheese and asparagus spears. Lightly spray wrapped asparagus with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 8-10 minutes or until phyllo is light golden brown. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack.
